The Ibrox icon refused to point the finger of blame at Philippe Clement but his fellow pundits accused him of going soft on Gers.
Rangers legend Graeme Souness clashed with radio sidekick Jim White in a heated on air debate over the gulf between the Ibrox side and Scottish Premiership champions-elect Celtic.
Asked for his take on the 2-1 defeat at Parkhead which left Rangers trailing Brendan Rodgers’ champions by six points and six goals at the league summit with just two games to go, Souness: said: “It was disappointing.
“The last three Old Firm games… for me there’s not a lot between them. They drew 3-3 at Ibrox where they came back from the dead and they’ve lost two games 2-1 at Parkhead and they’ve gone down 10 men. I don’t believe there is a big difference between the two teams but ultimately you know at the start of each season you’re going to win the league or lose it by your Old Firm results.”Souness said: “There’s a gulf. They’re ahead of Rangers.
White: “I think Rangers fans have their heads in their hands at the moment even although there’s a cup final coming up. This is an unrecognisable Rangers.”The temperature rose further when Jordan interjected. He said: “Graeme contradicts himself. We had this debate recently about Rangers and Celtic and he said the results of the Old Firm games don’t determine the league.”
